Safety in aviation is without equal and SAS personnel have conducted themselves exemplary with tens of thousands of hours flown involving extensive overseas and complicated missions without incident. For many years, professionally flown corporate and privately owned aircraft have maintained a far superior safety record than that of the airlines or charter operators. This superior safety record is due to flexible operational priorities and continuous state-of-the-art training.
SAS strives to recognize all benefits of aircraft management. As a standard, SAS additionally tracks the myriad of regulatory and currency requirements, as well as, maintains accountability of the pilots.

Crew Training and SafetyWell-trained and experienced pilots are the backbone of Southern Air Systems. Pilots are extensively screened including references, FAA EID/AID background checks, Federal Drug Testing programs, and stage flight competency checks. Thereafter at regular intervals all pilots are rechecked in the type of aircraft they are piloting, utilizing the FAA’s strictest flight check criteria. These safeguards along with simulator based training and our continuous in-house training programs produce some of the best crews in the industry.
Southern Air Systems prides itself on its continuous in-house training program in addition to simulator based training. This allows a more regular and cohesive training regime. Like all forms of learning, continuous is always better than rote style learning. Our process is further augmented through the use of SIMUFLITE and FLIGHTSAFETY’s full motion simulator programs. FACTS and International Procedures training are also completed at SimuFlite. Southern Air Systems retains “Fleet Training Partner” status and is a member of the CAE Customer Advisory Board. The Customer only pays a fixed training fee once per year regardless of pilot changes or usage.

Your safety is our highest priority. Southern Air Systems has some of the most rigorous standards for safety, maintenance, training, and operations in the industry.

We have a safety culture with each and every employee that is second to none.

Fuel Discount ProgramSouthern Air Systems utilizes several fuel savings programs to attain prices far below what a single aircraft and most fleet operators could ever hope to obtain. Fuel costs to an Aircraft Owner will often be the largest single item of which there is a substantial degree of control. Fuel costs can often make or break an aircraft’s annual operational budget.
SAS is very aggressive towards fuel pricing and can assure you some of the best pricing you can find anywhere. Our staff on a daily basis insures the prices we receive are competitive whether on a “spot” basis, through fuel contract, or individually negotiated.

Maintenance Services
About SAMSouthern Air Systems Maintenance, Inc. (SAM) a wholly owned subsidiary maintains a 32,000 square foot repair facility at Tampa International Airport. SAM is qualified to carry out major airframe inspections, engine inspections, as well as, a variety of refurbishment options. SAS recognized a need for more control of timetables and pricing of aircraft services than was available with outside facilities. Large maintenance facilities often lose touch and interest in maintaining original schedules and cost estimates, as larger more profitable jobs move to the front of the line.
SAM has developed long term relationships with vendors to support the goal of Customer Satisfaction. SAM enjoys substantial discounts from Dallas Airmotive and Duncan Aviation of which both are team members.
Often with our more distant Owners, it is not financially feasible to bring their aircraft to Florida for maintenance, and in these cases our services will turn towards developing the best situations for our Owner with the outside services locally available and utilizing our maintenance expertise to act as an advocate to our Owner. This includes work scope and billing issues. Additionally, aircraft with factory warranties would be routed through the appropriate manufacturers’ facility.
SAM services are recommended but, are strictly at the Owner’s request. It should not be construed that the Owner is obliged to retain maintenance services with SAM, it is simply our pleasure to offer these services as an additional resource. Southern Air Systems Maintenance provides a complete package for any aircraft under our care. Customer satisfaction is our top priority and we are proud to have a history of saving the Owners in excess of 20% over other maintenance options over the course of their aircraft ownership.
